Cross-Platform Bitcoin Wallets with Flutter & BDK-Dart

on YouTube ↗10m

" summary

Flutter apps get full BDK wallet primitives via BDK-Dart, exposing wallet creation (P2WPKH and P2TR), Electrum/Esplora sync, send/receive and tx history through a Rust FFI that uses Uniffi generator instead of Flutter Rust Bridge to cut maintenance. A demo app creates testnet wallets and successfully sends 2,000 sats live, and Blue Bitcoin runs BDK-Dart in production since April; a release candidate for v1.0 is available with a scannable demo app and repo link.
